"Then my uncle is going to tell you a few words as an elder. If you are willing to listen, just listen to your heart; if you feel that what he said is too serious, just treat it as a deaf ear. After all, I am your elder. , I hope you can understand my intentions."
Uncle Wang paused for a moment, collected his thoughts, and then said: "You are a college student, and you must have a deeper understanding of the truth than I do. In life, we need to be down-to-earth and not pursue unrealistic goals too much. You can understand me Do you mean it?"
Jin Buhuan was confused when he heard this, with confusion on his face. He had no idea what Uncle Zhao meant by "pursuing unrealistic goals."
Uncle Wang scratched his head helplessly, looking at the guilt-free expression on Jin Buhuan's face, he sighed deeply: "This child was so simple and cute when he was a child, but he has only been in the city for a year, how come he has contracted so many... The comparison habit of city people.”
Uncle Wang was about to continue to lecture Jin Buhuan when suddenly the courtyard door was pushed open, interrupting his lecture.
The old village chief with gray hair walked in anxiously.
"village head!"
Everyone stood up and said hello.
The village chief is not respected because he is a superior. Everyone's respect mainly comes from his personality, not his position.
During the decades that Xu Guojie has served as village chief, he has been committed to benefiting the villagers and sincerely doing practical things for the villagers.
Putting aside other factors, he has to submit reports to the county several times a year just for the issue of roads from the village to the town. Despite this, his pleas were suppressed every year without any substantive response.
But his dedication and hard work in Xiangshan Village are seen by everyone and felt in their hearts.
"If you don't want to change...will you come back if you don't want to change?"
"Uncle Xu, I'm here. Do you want to come here in person? Just give me a call. Please have a cup of tea first."
"No rush, it's never too late to drink tea. Let me ask you, is what you mentioned on the phone just now true?"
"It must be true!"
Jin Buhuan nodded seriously.
"That's great...so great!"
Xu Guojie's heart palpitated, and warm tears seemed to well up in his dry eyes.
Everyone couldn't help but feel confused. What exactly was said between the village chief and Jin Buhuan that made the village chief so emotional?
Xu Guojie looked around, and then said solemnly: "Please leave first, I have some important things to talk to you."
Everyone was full of doubts and walked out of the courtyard one after another, but Uncle Wang, relying on his seniority, stood still.
"Wang Laoliu, you also go out."
"ah?……"
Uncle Wang was very surprised that the village chief actually let him go out like others.
Xu Guojie said angrily: "Why are you still in a daze? Is your butt stuck to the chair? Or do you need me to come over and knock you?"
"Okay, let's go...I'll leave right away."
Even though he was very harsh when the education money was not exchanged, as if he were treating his grandson, he would never dare to show any disrespect to the village chief.
The status and prestige of the village chief, coupled with his age and seniority, made Uncle Wang afraid of any offense.
After Wang Laoliu left the yard, Jin Buhuan asked doubtfully: "It is a good thing to build roads in the village. Why don't you want them to know?"
"Don't change it. You don't know much about rural affairs, so you may not understand the situation here."
Jin Buhuan looked at Xu Guojie more curiously, and then heard Xu Guojie continue: "In our village, most people are engaged in farming. They usually work in the city, and everyone is a very outstanding construction worker."
"Isn't this good for our road construction?" Jin Buhuan said even more strangely.
"You don't understand! It takes hundreds of thousands to build a road. If we let them know, then everyone will want to build a section of the road, and the cost will be high! So we must plan the road construction well, and we can't let them know."
"I see, you are the village chief who is thoughtful and far-sighted."
"Stop hating me, how much money do you plan to invest in building roads?"
"I don't really understand. How much does it cost to build a four-meter-wide cement road?"
